ISRAELI soldiers today wounded at least 10 Palestinians in a West Bank town as they attempted to stifle protests against a separation barrier, residents said.
Soldiers fired live ammunition and used tear gas and stun grenades to try to quell violent protests at the Palestinian town of Nilin where Israel is building a barrier declared illegal by the World Court four years ago this week.
The town has been kept under curfew for the fourth day to try to subdue a small group of protesters and journalists from approaching the cordoned-off town of 5000.
